And there are many responsible breeders that you could support then a pure for profit breeder… again I refer to the parent club of the Basenji Club of America and how to find a responsible breeder.
Thank you very much, I will definitely take your advice into consideration.
Welcome keep us all up to date on the new puppy. Good luck.

bdenault, the advice that Pat and Lisa has sent to you is golden. I don't breed or show. I just do rescue and I deal with folks who have gotten a basenji from "someone" and ended up with a sick dog. I am not saying about this place, but if they don't do the testing Lisa and Pat suggest, you could very well end up with a dog who get sick
Some bad breeders will say, oh, well, if the dog gets sick, we will give you another one..but its not a sweater you just take back. We all fall in love with these b's.
These are wonderful dogs, great companion animals and to have one you paid good $$ for die before it should is heartbreak all around.
I have been there and done that…so please, do take their advice to heart and maybe wait to get a health basenji who will be with you many years.
Absolutely I agree 110%
Thanks Sharron… it is always super to receive confirmation on why to go to a responsible breeder, especially from one that is so involved with rescue and does such a great job..and to support responsible breeders
Thank you Pat. My friend Lisa is going with the Gregory's to Africa and will hopefully be bringing back some b's to add to the lines.
We live in exciting times!

SORRY to go so far OT here :o…
Sharon, does this mean there is likely to be another group going to Africa to get some more B's, to bring back to America ??? If so, is this likely to be happening this year ??? How excitement 
:D.
So this thread does not get hijacked, I started a new thread with a link to the webpage with the info on the newest Congo trip.
